did some quick off the cuff calculations and Stephen probably spent at least 15,000 pound(the modern equivalent of at least 1 million pounds) purchasing, outfitting, and acquiring a letter of marque for the Surprise. normal platonic behaviour

We’re always laughing about the time Jack got Stephen’s sloth irresponsibly drunk in HMS Surprise (Debauchgate) but we don’t talk enough about the time Stephen accidentally got the entirety of the ship’s rat population coked up in The Nutmeg of Consolation.

I love how the whole entire ship is so excited to find Stephen an albatross. That is truly delightful.

In addition to it being AO3's birthday, which is no small matter, it is also the 20th Anniversary of the release of the cinematic masterpiece, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.
In honor of this, someone wants to buy me these shirts. Right?
